Hi
Thanks for the query

If its aneurysm, the pain will be relieved with painkillers but when the effect of pain killers is finished the pain will start again. If you are having this sort of pain every week then better to go for proper evaluation. it is recommended to have consultation done from neurophysician and with his advice have a CT brain to rule out any serious conditions.

If you still have some query, feel free to ask

Thanks
Regards
